About our hog roast hire in Palestine
The smell of roasting pork is half the appeal. We roast slowly on site in Palestine, then carve the pork into rolls with all the trimmings. Popular choices include hog roast rolls, crackling and spit-roast lamb, and typical bookings are for big birthdays and anniversaries and work summer parties.
Somewhere like Palestine, a yard or firm field often works. Mention gates and soft ground when you get in touch. We bring plates as standard, with china available if you’d like it, at an extra cost.
How it works
Your timings come first. If the day runs behind, a cooked roast can be kept hot for a while, so keep us posted on the day. Evenings in Palestine stay light until about 9:25pm in June, but by late September sunset is around 7:10pm; once it is dark, we need light at the carving station.
- First, you send us your date, address, numbers and serving time.
- We check availability and the space for the roaster and send a clear quote.
- On the day, we set up on the agreed spot and start roasting.
- At serving time, the chef carves and the team serves.
- Afterwards we clear up and leave the spot tidy.
How to prepare
- Send final numbers in good time
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Think about shelter for your guests

Bringing a hog roast to Palestine
Palestine is in Hampshire. We bring a hog roast to events anywhere in Palestine, as long as there is an outdoor spot to cook. Palestine is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover. You can also see our page for Southampton, about 20 miles away.
Churches such as Church of St Leonard rarely have room for a roaster, but a hall or home close by usually does. Within reach of Palestine are historic houses such as Idmiston Manor (4.7 miles south-west). Historic venues often limit cooking on site, so ask early if you’re booking one.
We cater events across SP11. Whether your event is on Station Road, Streetway Road and Campbell Close or anywhere nearby, we’ll bring the roaster to you. If your venue is just outside Palestine, we also cover Grateley (1 mile north-east), Quarley (2 miles north), Over Wallop (2 miles south-east), Fox (2 miles north-east) and Kentsboro (3 miles east). Larger places within reach include Winchester (15 miles south-east), Andover (7 miles north-east), Romsey (14 miles south-east), Hyde (15 miles south-east), Tidworth (5 miles north) and Weeke (14 miles south-east).
Open spaces near Palestine include Quarley Hill and Winterbourne Downs RSPB reserve.

What the cooking area needs
Most outdoor spaces can work if a few things are right. Here’s what we look for:
- Cover for your guests in bad weather
- Nothing overhead that could catch the heat
- The venue’s agreement to a gas-fired roaster
If you are unsure, send a picture of the space and the way in, and we’ll say what we think.

Diets, allergies and alternatives
We give full allergen information for every dish. To make the most of it:
- Add a dietary question to your invitations
- Tell us about vegetarians and vegans so we bring enough halloumi skewers and vegan burgers or sausages
- We don’t offer halal meat, so arrange that separately if it is needed
- Stuffing normally contains gluten, so check the allergen information
Expect us to be on site for much of the day, since slow roasting starts early.
Add lamb or chicken for a second roast.
A hog roast compared with other options
Next to a barbecue, a hog roast cooks in one go and is carved for everyone, so nobody stands at a grill all afternoon. See our guide to hog roast or barbecue. The price depends on numbers, the menu and how long we serve, along with distance and how easy the site is. Every booking is different, which is why each one gets its own quote.
Why Palestine hosts choose us
- Carved to order by a chef
- A choice of salads and potatoes
- The classics: stuffing, apple sauce and crackling
- Roasted on site, slowly, for hours
Take a look at our prices page or the cost guide.
How we price a hog roast
There’s no fixed price list, because every event is different. What matters most:
- Which meats and sides you choose
- Distance from us
- The serving time and how long we’re on site
- Season and day of the week
Most of the cost is the meat, the staff and the time on site. A long, slow roast means an early start, and the quote reflects that.
What we need to know
Good details mean a good quote. Useful details:
- Any dietary needs or allergies
- Roughly how many people
- Where the event is
- What the outdoor space is like
For a quote, send us a few details: the date and serving time, the venue or SP11 postcode, rough numbers and which extras you’d like. Fill in our quote form.
Full catering or machine hire?
You could roast a hog yourself, but it is a long day’s work, from early set-up to carving at the end. With us catering, you get to be a host, not a cook.
You could go for a cold buffet, but hot, freshly carved roast pork is a different experience.
Palestine questions
What’s the nearest station to Palestine?
Grateley station, in Palestine itself.
We’re gathering after a service at Church of St Leonard: can you cater?
Yes, at a nearby hall, home or venue with room to cook outside. Churches rarely have space for a hog roast, so the food is normally elsewhere. Tell us where you will gather.
Can you cater in Palestine?
Yes, Palestine is in our area. Send us the address and we will check the date.
Do you serve the crackling?
It is: the skin turns to crackling and everyone gets some.
Is there a non-pork option?
The menu has lamb, chicken, vegetarian and vegan options. We do not provide halal meat.
How long does the roast need?
Hours rather than minutes. You will know our arrival time in advance.
Is all of Hampshire covered?
We cater across Hampshire. Contact us for a price.
Can you cook a hog roast in a small garden?
Frequently, yes, if there’s a level, open spot away from the house and trees, and a way to wheel the equipment through. Send us a photo.
